Cyrano de Bergerac
★★★★☆ Unexpectedly touching
There is an almost wilfully uneven quality to Arkle’s Cyrano de Bergerac at the Hill Street Theatre, but – eschewing much of the heroic bombast that is usually associated with the play – it manages to be convincing and affecting.
EGTG’s Improbables Return
Workshops for short-form improv:
EGTG has announced the return of The Improbables, its highly successful Improv troupe, with a 10-week introductory course into short-form improvisation.
Wildest Dreams
★★★★☆ Fascinating:
Intriguing, amusing and a little troubling, the Grads’ production of Alan Ayckbourn’s Wildest Dreams upstairs at the Assembly Roxy is extremely accomplished.
Review – Jerusalem
★★★★★ Brave and timely:
There’s a rich, dense texture to the Grads Scottish premiere of Jerusalem, at the Adam House Theatre until Saturday. It has a mythic feel inspired by Blake’s hymn Jerusalem, the text of which frames the piece as if it were being stalked by Gog and Magog.
Æ Review – The Comedy of Errors
★★★☆☆
Cartoon capers cut right through to the heart of Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors in the Edinburgh Graduate Theatre Group’s twinkling new production up at the Church Hill Theatre until Saturday.
